um "curious wonder that is Web 2.0" zu veranschaulichen, hat Barb Dybwad folgendes Diagramm entwickelt.

Starke Worte findet sie, wenn es um die Perspektiven von Web 2.0 geht:

...in which individuals and groups are bypassing traditional media rhetoric of ownership and control and creating our own culture in which media has more value, not less, when remixed and recombined. This is successful because the internet has democratized methods of distribution, and we need not wait for "culture" to be handed down from on high by broadcast media. We create culture; we are culture.?? Und geht auch noch einen Schritt weiter: ??imagine when building web applications becomes as simple as playing with LEGOs. Imagine what the web will look like when your kids can easily glue together web services to make beautiful, unexpected, useful things - for themselves, for (and with) your family, for (and with) their friends, for (and with) their communities. That is what gleams on the horizon of Web 2.0.
